With a coffee shop around every corner, an Americano is always at your fingers — but Cafe Allegro, Seattle's first coffee shop, has one of the best. (Other worthy contenders? Cafe Lladro, Milstead, and Stumptown.)

This Seattle brunch haven is known for its organic ingredients and delicious American fare. Line too long? Just skip to the front — you’ll (probably) only be met with a grimace and a healthy dose of passive aggressiveness.

Walk the coast, sit in the grass, and pitch a bonfire on a warm summer day. Parched from your nature quest? Stop into Oliver's Twist in Magnolia for cocktails like The Bumble — with bourbon, lemon, and creme de peche.

The University of Washington (Go Huskies!) has a backyard filled with scenic wonders. Pass the blooming cherry trees in The Quad, walk down to The WAC, and canoe to your heart's content. The WAC is open to the public, except for those who lost this year's Apple Cup. Sorry Cougs.

Backpack to the heart of Seattle's University District for this popular German bar, complete with rowdy college kids, and a menu of Germany's best brews. Ready for a challenge? Get a boot of beer for you and your mates — whoever takes the last sip pays!

Locals and tourists will agree that the water taxi has some of the best views of the Seattle skyline. Ensure you don't look like the latter by wearing your wool socks, hiking boots, and Patagonia jacket.

Yes, a hot dog. Every New Yorker knows a pizza slice is the best way to end a night on the town. But every Seattleite knows a night isn't complete without a stop by the local hotdog cart. For a true Seattle experience, make sure to pack on the cream cheese. (It's a ~thing~.)
